Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The critical path method (CPM) is a project management tool that helps in analyzing the sequence of activities that would take the longest time to complete. It also helps in identifying the critical path of a project, which is the sequence of activities that must be completed on time to ensure that the project is completed within the scheduled time. In this scenario, Brianne uses CPM to identify the critical path and plan her project effectively. The other options, such as value chain, poka-yokes, and enterprise resource planning, are not relevant to project management tools and techniques.
